Invoicing platforms Bonsai and Invoice2go have different value propositions that center on customer support preferences, teamwork and pricing strategy.
Invoice2go provides reasonably priced entry-level pricing with the Starter plan starting at $5.99/month and Professional and Premium plans following. Despite increased expenses, Bonsai continues to offer premium pricing with an infinite number of clients and projects.
With unlimited team members available at all price points, Invoice2go is a great tool for expanding companies. However, Bonsai has user restrictions, limiting plans to individual users and limiting teamwork.
Custom templates, estimates, expense tracking and project-based billing are among the invoicing features that both Bonsai and Invoice2go provide. Whereas Invoice2go provides specialized features and a mobile app, Bonsai offers mileage tracking, customizable templates and recurring billing automation.
Invoice2go restricts integrations to Professional and Premium plans while Bonsai concentrates on accounting software compatibility and Stripe integration. Invoice2go provides flexible payment processing with transparent fees and multiple gateways.
While Bonsai offers standard chat and email support, it might not be able to provide immediate technical assistance. On the other hand, Invoice2go offers 24-hour Premium plan support.
While Bonsai provides specialized features for seasoned professionals, Invoice2go is affordable and perfect for expanding businesses. Although both platforms prioritize team size and financial constraints, they both provide dependable core functionality.
